Through future years of competition in a capitalist market, prices will cheapen over time

Yea. Unless we figure out an alternative to rocket fuel, that is a large component of what drives the price.
I don’t think it will ever be cheap, but space tourism like what Branson did with virgin galactic (almost like a plane entering the upper atmospheres will be cheaper than sitting aboard a rocket ship)
